Makes sense to me. Grizzlies hibernate in winter, and thundersnow is a rare occurrence.

Thundersnow! Man, the first time I saw lightning during a snowstorm, the sky literally turned a pinkish purple and I figuratively thought the world was ending.

Not to stray too far off topic, but this is arguably the closest thing any human will ever see that compares to armageddon that they can walk away from.

To be fair, the context was a survivable end of the world scare. That explosion in your video isn't "end of the world" worthy, as it's just a big-ass explosion of liquid fire, and also it actually DID kill somebody.

Ian Cole's game-winning sudden death goal is washed out for goaltender interference. Crowd chants "bullsh-t" and throws garbage on the ice. The Best Fans In Baseball must fly south for the winter.

Why can't they ever show this passion watching the football team?

As excited as I am about the Leafs' play so far this year, I'm remaining cautiously optimistic after what happened last year. Still, this year's roster is noticeably different, and they've been a lot tougher to play against. The game against Boston was what I felt to be the best example of this (losing only 1-0 and not getting blown up/pushed around like last year). Considering Gardiner and Lupul, two of their best players last year, aren't even back yet, I'm more confident that this team can go somewhere than last year's.

Worst camera angles in the league are Dallas (not steep enough) and Detroit (oh hey back of dudes' heads for the millionth time)

And Islanders. The extreme off-centeredness of it has always irked the hell out of me.

Here's what I don't understand about that.. originally it was on center ice like a normal camera angle but I want to say 3 years ago or so they moved it to the blue line for some reason. I'm not a fan of it either and I noticed just in the past couple pages of the thread people have noticed how annoying it is too.

Oh, and the Isles are back to being the same old Isles. Womp womp.

They're a little better than ok. They have been playing very solid hockey and are of to one of their best starts in years, all without Ryan Kesler. The Sedins have also been underperforming, along with some other players on their team. Really the goalies are the only core players on the team playing up to their full potential. Once Kesler comes back and the Sedins get it together, like I know they will, this team will be very dangerous. They could even be a more complete team than the 2011 one.

I had always been a Roy > Brodeur guy, but the fact that he's done it this well for this long has finally swayed me. Gulp.

Dominik. Hasek.

I was going to bring him up because I absolutely adored him when I was a kid, but I'd still give it to Brodeur. When Hasek was at his best, he was absolutely unbeatable (see: '98 Olympics). He won the MVP twice for a reason. He just didn't do it for long enough. I'd still say Brodeur and Roy are better because they were about as good for a lot longer.
